Excerpt from Faith Lifting Prayers
Dear God
Grant me the courage to face myself
And to give myself the permission to use my voice
For so many years
My inadequacy has bound my tongue
Inhibited my speech
And the things that I have wanted to say
Have been stuck in my throat
Words that needed to be heard
Lose their way on my tongue
So I swallow the words that are lost
And try to find new ones I feel anxiety
As people try to complete my sentences
Wanting a sentence to slip through my lips
But somehow it clings to my teeth
My words are drowned out
By fear of being judged and laughed at
But I have a voice that needs to be heard
We all do
As my voice finds its way
From my heart to my lips
And to the ears that are listening
May it be nourished and shaped by self-acceptance
I give thanks for my ability to speak my truth
And even though it isn't as smooth as I would like it to be
It is my voice and I own it
My words belong to me
And I will no longer judge how they leave my mouth
But bless them because they belong to me
Thank you
Amen
